I am considering the purchase of a 1911 and am in the process of evaluating several. I have 2 guns that have SA triggers, a Ruger Mark II Target with bull barrel and a Taurus PT-99 - about 15-20 years old, one of the originals.
According to Ruger, the Mark II Target has a trigger pull weight between 3 to 5 pounds. This seems reasonable and I believe mine is at the lower end of this range based on how easy it is to break the trigger.
Taurus, on the other hand, claims that the trigger pull weight for the PT-99 is 1 to 2 pounds in SA mode and 4 to 5 in DA mode. I call BS on Taurus for this info, but I can't seem to find any good info for what the trigger pull weight should be for the PT-99. In SA mode, it is stiffer than the Ruger and in DA mode, it takes a pretty good pull.
Does anybody have good info on what the trigger pull of an original PT-99 should be? I appreciate any input on this matter.
